About the game
During the 1980s, the Italian Air Force was one of the most capable in NATO. Flying the Panavia Tornado IDS, as well as the A-11 Ghibli and older aircraft such as the G. 91, the Italian Air Force found itself split between helping the Greeks on the Mediterranean front and NATO in Germany. The Italian Air Force also fought the Libyans and Syrians. Take to the skies with the Italian Air Force and face all new foes as you fight to stop the crushing onslaught of global communism! This set adds 54 cards and 32 counters to your Eagle Leader game, including: 45 x Aircraft cards (Tornado IDS / F-104S / G-91 / G-19Y / AMX A-11Bs) 3 x Target cards 4 x Event cards 2 x Special Condition cards 9 x Skill counters 1 x Pilot Skills sheet 3 x Campaign sheets -description from publisher
